ham, Mrs. George L. Linsley, Mrs Mary
G. Wheeler and Miss Jennie Stacy, was
appointed to prepare rules for the govern
ment of the institution and devise means
for carrying it on Mr.. Edward Wells,
Prof. V. &. Barbour and Mr.. G. p. Smith
were appointed as executive committee.
Entertainment was afforded quite n
large number of people Tuesday after
noon by the spectacle of two impromptu
officers, ID. Hall and II. Bigsbee, attempt
ing to take to Jail young fellow named
Mckenzie for intoxication, but who, to
judge from appearances was better abe
to stand than his captors. When opposite
Ripley g. Holton's on Church street, the
young fellow made break for liberty,
but after running half dozen steps into
the middle of the street. he was captured
by third party and taken back to his
guard on the sidewalk. At Bank street,
however, he regained his liberty and ran
out of sight.
The Jail commissioners have just return
ed from their tour of inspection in the
West. They were most favorably i'm
pressed with the new rotary Jail at Craw-
louisville, Ind, and the probability is that
they will decide to erect a similar one in
this city. The plans and exterior view
show that it will be fine structure. The
Jail proper will be rotary and of steel and
will contain s or 10 cells, each of which
will contain two cots. There will also be
three cells for women and three for insane
persons over the sheriff's office. 1t is ex-
pected that Jail erected on this plan will
cost about $4,000.
Lieut.. Crosby p. Miller, Jr., 4th artil-

ordered to Fort Adams, Newport, Rhode
Island, for duty as regimental quarter
master. Lieut.. Millers many friends in
Vermont are always glad to hear of his
success in the line of duty, and remember
with great pleasure his pleasant sojourn
in his native State while on duty at the
University. The army and Nary jour
nat says that on Friday evening, March
II, the ladies of the garrison gave recep
ton to the Lieutenant and Mrs. Miller
who were to leave in few days for New
port.

EXPERIMENT STA
TON.


Ine coming SeHHon,
AS is well known, the State Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has no farm of
its own, and hence it must rely on the
farmers of the State for the land on which
to conduct the series of experiments that
are to be carried out this summer. 1t is
desirable that these experiments be tried
in each part of the State. They are as fol
lows
/. The testing of new fodder plants to see if
they are adapted to our sol and climate.
a.. Alfalfa, a species of clover, requires
land well drained, and from which the snow
does not blow off in the winter; sown broad
cast, used for hay or green feed !;
does not die out like ordinary clover
b. Cow pea sown in drills, and cultivated
like beans. makes very heavy growth of eN-
celent fodder; used only for green feed can
be grown on poor, weedy soil, but does best
on II soil naturally rich in potash
a. Horse beans, sown broadcast with barley
or oats thatare to be cut for hay, to increase
the nutritiOusness of the fodder.
2 Tests with fertilizers. The work with fer
tlllZers will he confined to Il single line OF in
qury. namely to ascertain whether fodder
plants can use phosphorc acid when
Of undlssolved phosphate rock or UNI
dissolved bone black. These experiments
will he tried on permanent grass land only rs
II Will take two or more years to determine
| how much benefit has been received from the
fertilizer. The phosphates will be supplied.
, a. IN the form OF nne ground SOuth caro-
| lima rock
b. In the form of fine ground bone black.
c. These two forms mixed with the addition
of plaster.
The trials with new fodder plants will
be on plots of one fourth of an acre. The
| fertilizers trial on plots of one-tenth of III

/ furnish the seed and the fertilizers free o
cost, only STIMULATING that whoever take'
them shall agree to report to the station
the results of the trial.
All who are willing to try any of thes'
